After much deliberation I've decided on of my entries will be the fantastic 1/100 Metal Gear REX by Kotobukiya. Been sitting on my shelf since release and I guess nows the time!

Can't wait to get home and crack this open...

Greaaaaaat!!!!! 8) 8) 8)

I'm a big fan of the MGS serie! I own the ThreeA one, can't wait to see it built! :)
 
Here's a start video. Sorry about the sound issues and shaky cam, did this with my Galaxy S5.

Did an inventory of the parts and gave the manual a quick look.

Will be following for sure, seen a few reviews and finished builds but really looking forward to a WIP on the beast
 
Just a small update guys. Been feeling a little under the weather so I only put in an hour or two last night.

Thats a lot of pieces wich means a lot of cuting and sanding good luck on your progress Mando:)
 
Thanks! ;D
Yea it sure is. It felt like it took forever to get just the one leg assembled. Plus is that all that engineering pays off, a lot of the seam lines get hidden by cover panels. At first I was clipping out each piece and carefully cleaning up the nubs only to put it together and realize 90% of the nubs get hidden once the part is assembled. So I'm not being so particular now, once I have it all assembled I'll know what I have to clean up.
 
BIG jump guys, almost have the kit done! After I did this video I build the railgun, and I'll probably have the Radome done tonight or tomorrow morning.

All these moving parts are making me worry about paint.
